We have a secret spot where the wild lady slipper orchids bloom abundantly around June 24th. Not just one or two of these rare orchids (that are the Minnesota state flower), but dozens and dozens of plants growing in clumps and singles all along a low spot. The blooms are huge and delicately tinged with pink and white.

I discovered them many years ago and yearly make a pilgrimage to this special place to gaze in awe at their beauty. It doesn’t take much to “entertain” a true homesteader; I just enjoy nature’s beauty.

  1. Beautiful orchids! Thanks for sharing! Sure wish you could share some of that rain over her to the West! Seems like everything is burning here in NM and CO.
